Psalms 6
1 <Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.> (6-2) O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.2 (6-3) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.3 (6-4) And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?4 (6-5) Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.5 (6-6) For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?6 (6-7) I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.7 (6-8) My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
8 (6-9) Depart from em, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.9 (6-10) The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.10 (6-11) Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
